Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 provides various tools that enable you to build Web pages with greater ease, such as when you want a multicolumn page layout for text, images and tables. The Dreamweaver interface enables you to insert absolutely positioned, or AP, elements which allow you to customize the size and position of your Div layout.

1. Open the Web page in Dreamweaver CS5.

2. Click the "Layout" tab. Click the "Draw AP Div" button; the cursor changes to a crosshair. Click and hold down on the mouse button, and drag across the document to draw a rectangle that represents your Div. Release the mouse button to complete the rectangle.

4. Click the handles of the AP Div and drag them if you want to change the size. Click the top left corner to move the Div to a different page location. The CSS code automatically updates to reflect your changes. You can also change the CSS code manually to tweak the style.
